Display Settings & Configuration 
When setting up your Looking Glass 65" display alongside your secondary monitor (recommended) to use at the UI screen, ensure the following: 
The Looking Glass 65" and secondary monitor should be extended, not mirrored. 
The Looking Glass 65" should be scaled at 100% 
The secondary monitor should be set as your "primary display"
This setup will allow for you to seamlessly control your applications and content from the secondary display with the holographic content running on your Looking Glass 65".

Once you have the Leap Motion Controller plugged in and the Ultraleap Gemini tracking installed, launch the Ultraleap sensor setup & load the Ultraleap Tracking Software. This will allow you to use your Leap Motion Sensor with any compatible apps you have installed. 
Test your setup
This simple test can be run to ensure that hardware is connected, and software is installed and configured:
When the above button is pressed, your Looking Glass 65" should show a 3D image of Shawn from Looking Glass. To close this image, move your mouse over to the Looking Glass and click the ESC key on the keyboard. 
If the hologram appears with diagonal lines, there is an error loading the calibration data. Please retry the setup steps above to ensure it is properly configured, double check that all cables are plugged in and that your monitor settings are correct.
